Product Details:

What does the American Dream mean today? For Niko Bellic, fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past. For his cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find fortune in Liberty City, gateway to the land of opportunity. As they slip into debt and are dragged into a criminal underworld by a series of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality is very different from the dream in a city that worships money and status, and is heaven for those who have them and a living nightmare for those who don't.

Features:

The Plot - Grand Theft Auto IV is a brand new adventure in the GTA universe following the experiences of Nikolai "Niko" Bellic, a new immigrant from an undisclosed eastern European country whose troubled past and the persuasion of his cousin Roman have brought him to the fictional Liberty City. Unfortunately, Niko's search for the American Dream and a much needed fresh start, hits an immediate snag when the rags to riches story Roman spun to pique Niko's interest is exposed as not only a complete fabrication, but a ploy to enlist Niko's well-known skills as a tough guy against the ample list of enemies clamoring for Roman's debt-ridden blood. Because Roman is the only person Niko knows in Liberty City he begrudgingly accepts his role as Roman's protector despite the deception. But as time goes on Niko comes into his own, and his experience on the wrong side of the tracks proves more valuable than he could have ever imagined as he fights for survival and later supremacy on the crime ridden streets of Liberty City.

Game Environments - Based on several of the boroughs of New York City and parts of New Jersey, Liberty City, familiar to players of previous games in the series, has been entirely redesigned for GTA IV. Players can expect visible detail down to the weeds growing in the cracks in the sidewalk, cars and buildings of visibly different ages and a much greater level if verticality in the buildings and bridges that they are able to explore as Niko moves through the city streets. In addition, pedestrians in GTA IV are much more realistic. No longer simply moving cardboard cutouts, these NPCs are intelligent, modern, human representations that laugh, cry, eat, drink, use cell phones and As, and talking amongst themselves regardless of Niko's interaction with them.

Gameplay - Historically GTA games have focused heavily on mission-based play, requiring successful completion of fixed tasks in order for players to progress through the game, but this has changed to a great extent in GTA IV. Players will experience an entirely new and exciting emphasis centered on the blending of on-mission and off-mission play, resulting not only in an increased sense of realism, but more interesting and unrestricted gameplay.

Rated 7 out of 10 by Awesome-O Bad Controls
I am not trying to be mean or anything but I just have to say I am disappointed in GTA IV. In this game not only do the controls irritate you to the point when you wanna go play another game and step on Rockstar's face for making the controls bad. The graphics aren't to impressing either. Back to the controls when I am driving trying to chase a person right and you just have to go full speed just to get close and catch him well when you happen to turn and you bump into stuff and all that you just swerve completely in another direction and of coarse the bad guy gets away now you have to start all over again. Another thing how can Rockstar expect me to win a street race with these bad controls. Another thing when you're playing on live and get in the anialator helicopter you can't shoot someone to save your life. So for all the people who are thinking of playing GTA IV good luck to you. To all the GTA IV lovers you might want to think about what I have said and compare it to other games.

Rated 5 out of 10 by ZarvanisX Too heartless and evil for me
I have no problem with vulgar bloody gore filled game, but when you have to kill innocent people, that's when I draw the line. In every decision based game I play (Mass Effect 1 & 2, Fallout 3, KOTOR) I always play the good guy. Defending the innocent. Maybe it's because I'm weak, but I can't kill innocents, even virtual ones. I can see how people can like this, the gameplay on its own is mostly good. But It takes forever to get any good guns, the driving is awful, and shooting while driving is almost impossible. A very large portion of the game is driving, the punching system is awful, and I had to force myself to play through the first 3 hours. There is fun to be found, but I was usually yelling at the game over the driving parts to care. I was bored for the majority of the 10 hours I played before giving up. I didn't care about the characters, the story, every mission felt like a chore. People who enjoy killing people will likely have a blast, but people like me shouldn't play it.

I have seen a lot of video clips, interviews, and pics on this game that will be released in a few days and I have to say I’m really looking forward to this game. I only played the original GTA where he looks like a stick man and has the overview camera. Loved it but could never get into the other GTAs. Not saying they were horrible, I just never could be inspired to play this type of game. But form what I have seen for gta4 this will be the game of the year. Very impressed with the graphics which some people are saying isn’t that good. Sorry guys the graphics are top notch. The multiplayer will blow cod4 and Halo3 out of the water. It’s about time someone has done a different approach on multiplayer. I think that a lot of people like me are drawn toward this style of game this time around because we are looking for something that more replay value. So I strongly suggest that people buy this game. You won’t regret it one bit and you will have a smile on your face 24/7 playing this.

Rated 10 out of 10 by jason clotter ITS HOT
Grand Theft Auto IV is a game you've most certainly heard of. A large open world action game. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if most of the people reading have the games, Im just here to give my two cent, so lets get on with it. Grand Theft Auto sets you in the large metropolis of Liberty. You progress through the main story by completing mission that you get from various characters and these missions can be completed in many different orders and fashions, making it a very open ended (Why it's called open ended). While it is for the most part an open ended game, don't let the idea get to your head, it's not as if the game will craft an entirely different story for everyone. Their can be some minor differences, but for the most part the game fallows one main story. Now, that we have the basics down we can get the actual gameplay. When in combat, Grand Theft Auto IV Plays much like Gears of War. You can get behind cover by pressing the Right bumper. Locking on target is done by pressing t...[More]

Rated 10 out of 10 by evan good
The game was great, the graphics are great, and the controls are great when u get used to them. The cars are nice looking and the damage is pretty cool but the only thing is the motorcycles suck. When u play 2 player free mode and u go on a boat u go threw the walls until u end up in the water. The internet and tv stations are cool if u don't have cable and internet in real life. The story line is good not as good as vice city but a lot better than San Andreas which was the worst game ever. Characters are sick especially when Nico gets pissed off. The guns are cool, the only thing is the slide doesn't blow back on pistols and he doesn't cock the m4 and shotguns just moves his hand. Multiplayer is fun the best are car races and free mode where your free to screw around. Lastly once u beat the story mode it gets incredibly boring and I haven't played it since. O one more thing I beat the game twice in 1 week one using cheats and got the deal ending and the other I dint and got the revenge ending.

Rated 10 out of 10 by Future GTA 4 is the 2nd best game in the series
This is obviously the best game of 2008. Graphics are out of this world. So out of this world that it crashed my system the day it came out. The re-creation of Liberty City was well done. Looked exactly like New York. Time Square looks wonderful in the game at night time. Rockstar made me feel like I was actually there. The missions were crazy. Some were repetitive but I liked the creativity. I got to hijack a truck, get in a police car and pull people over, look up people in the police car, made friends, met strangers, got on the internet for stuff, chose to kill or let people live at times, and the final mission has 2 endings. The downloadable content for this game is throwing people in all directions. Multiplayer is mad fun. One last thing to finish this off, Rockstar, please make the next GTA game on the 360/PS3/PC an Adult's Only rating. Too many kids are playing this game ruining it for people who are of age on multiplayer. The rating needs to be seriously enforced.
